Default Going from M6 to TH400 and need help ASAP

I have a 01 SS that I have just swapped from M6 to a TH400. I have the trans in and everything fits nice. I'm trying to hook up the park/neutral safety switch and the reverse lights. I read the sticky and for M6 cars it says the park/neutral wires should be black and white. Well after looking at mine I only see purple and green. THis is coming from the switch that the clutch hits when it's pushed. Am I looking at the right switch?

As for the back up lights for a car going from a M6 to Th400 what wires should I be looking for so that I can hook them up to my shifter? Where would these wires be located? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the last thing left for my swap.

Thanks for all the replies in advance

I did when I was finishing my TH400 conversion, I found some good info out there: (try searching) i forget the colors of the wires, but I found them in this diag: Besides, if the colors dont seem to match, you can always test the wires with an ohm meter and see which one breaks circuit when you press the clutch.

I appreciate that response but unfurtunatley that didn't help me. That's the same stuff I came upon when I searched. It seems to be for 98's and I need the info for 01-02. I think I may be ok for the park/netural saftey switch but as far as the reverse lights and how to turn off the abs and brake light I can't find anything.

I did a search for " reverse lights" and a bunch of threads came up. I then looked at TH400 wiring diagram thread and found the info Needed in there. What I needed was the color of the wires for the clutch and where to find the wires for the reverse lights. For a M6 car the reverse lights wires are on the passenger side under the car. It's a brown plug with two wires ( brown/ light green). For the clutch it is located under the clutch pedal and the wires are ( purple/green). If I can help you with anything else just post and I will try to help out.
